I cannot watch the video from my work computer, and I don't know enough about seseme street to bring that into the equasion, but to me it looks like a dead pig being posed, and I think that is one sick form of entertainment. If I am right and it is a dead pig, then yes, this is disturbing!

Yeah the pig is CLEARLY not real.

I mean pigs that walk on their hind legs and are over 6ft tall...


Granted, you didn't see the video perhaps... but even the stills don't look real.

Seriously

I can ynderstand why the vid creeps you out, it's designed to produce a creepy effect.

Not everyone likes to have those parts of them stimulated, truthfully I like very complex emotional states... enjoy things that stimulate opposing reactions within me...

But any odd combination can be very unsettling

This is revulsion the pigs, with another emotion elmo which might create depending upon how you view elmo, feelings of home and warmth or children,...maybe even trigger Love

It forces you to make connections that could be very unsettling.

As I don't like Elmo... it was mostly a creep show for me and that's simple to absorb, lots of people like Horror or Gross things and the reaction it produces.


But I actually stand by my point on Elmo, I really dislike the way they hypnotize children and teach simple fundamental things, a child might not know what we do, but their ability to learn is 100x greater... it's like low level programming to me. Per fact every child is born a genius, this is not what we should feed them...

Just taking a moment to stand on my soap box on the subject

But your reaction to this is normal, it's disconcerting blend of emotional triggers audio and visual.

RICKY ROCKS FIND JOY IN THAT AND GET OVER THE PIG.

You believe in Satan?-ppffft

But I do agree with you about Gervais, loved him in The Office (English version)

they both smiled at the end like the pig, wat was that about

pigs do have a bit of a negative reputation, which is too bad, because they are actually very bright and social animals. The pig in this video however, can hardly be described using those words. I think the video is quite disturbing and I think the effect is caused by the contrast. A childs toy on the one hand, and something diabolical on the other hand. Notice alsof the change in music when the 'diabolical pig' appears. Just turn off the sound and the video loses most of its scaryness.
The question that comes to mind when I watch a video like this, is: what was the maker of this video thinking off??
Although the video is disturbing, there is also a twisted attraction in it, it is the same with horror films. Thought they can discust you, you can watch them with fascination. I think it is because this kind of stuff refers to the darker side of us, which some of us try so hard to deny.
